Students choose a problem relevant to them and solve it through research, collaboration, and creativity. The experiential learning process combined with a forum to showcase their work provides a motivational and long-lasting impact. The Steps For Success curriculum consists of emotional health, character building, and relationship management topics.

The Mental Health Awareness Program (MAP) is designed to help educators not only recognize and understand the early signs of common mental health challenges facing school-aged children, but also learn how to best employ preventative strategies. Customized for individual schools and their staff, this program is the first step in preventing crises, identifying issues that may have otherwise gone unnoticed, and helping schools create a healthy, growth-oriented learning environment.

For many years, our unique and successful collaboration with various universities provides fieldwork opportunities for MSW students. Interns gain first-hand experience as they work alongside professionals in a clinical environment. At the same time, the schools benefit from the services of these young, enthusiastic members of the social work community. Interns lead interactive group discussions and meet weekly with students to discuss challenges including peer pressure, decision-making, and social stress. Interns also fulfill their fieldwork hours by mentoring at The Lounge programs. Our professional clinical staff provides ongoing, intensive individual and group supervision throughout the school year. Topics related to confidentiality and suicide ideation protocols, for example, are discussed and specific case presentations are made to educate our interns and appropriately support and strengthen our youth.

We offer consultations with educational teams (teachers, specialists, administrators, etc.) nationwide to provide guidance and comprehensive support plans to manage behaviors of concern for a particular school.
